Personal Questions
Mates,
With lots of people wound up from the CV-19 impacts, maybe a good time to distract from that. I have put together a deeply probing personal questionnaire, the answers of which will not be shared (or remembered) by anyone. Utilizing secret scientific methods and profiles, the questions are as follows:
1. Cookies or cake?
2. Car or truck?
3. Khakis or jeans?
4. Coffee or tea?
5. Open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning?
6. Why did the chicken cross the road?
The 'why' to all the questions is extra points.
Be safe and take care of your families. Hopefully you are enjoying them more than you had anticipated.
XM
1. cookies all day, cake is so overrated. I feel like 99% of cakes get thrown away with only 4-5 pieces taken out
2. Car, gas mileage
3. Jeans, sorry Jim, Khakis are just boring
4. Coffee/black because it gets you jacked up and is good for you too...in moderation
5. Christmas day, just grew up that way
6. Chicken crossed the road to get to the store for TP
Let me add one:
7. Is a hot dog a sandwich?
7. no. hot dog is not a sandwich. merely suggesting that probably signals some anti-social characteristics. could bear closer scrutiny.
What are the requirements for a sandwich?
flat pieces of bread with flat or spreadable condiments. just ask the marquis de sandwich, he will tell you.
So a sandwich on a sub bun isn't actually a sandwich?
I will refer you to this

Cannot dispute MW dictionary.

The original sandwich was likely venison, as the earl of sandwich was also the first lord of the admiralty, and managed the entire english navy from his home office, and hadn't time to sit and eat his royal allotment of venison roast, so held it between two slabs of bread and ate as he worked.
Kahlua and Tomato Juice:
1) Shaken
or
2) Stirred
?
this is another suspicious response. further scrutiny of M & M is warranted. let me guess, you're part of the 'hot dog = sandwich' crowd too. highly concerning....
XM--annually, it seems, I must take time out of my busy life as the Head Lifeguard in our family- owned car wash business to provide accurate and responsible history to those on MGOBLOG who post during liquid or chemical imbibification sessions or spontaneously take time away from their active pursuit of pressure washing the moon.....
Start your recorders, here goes...............
The Hot Dog is a sandwich because Wikipedia says it is a :'sausage based sandwich'.
Further, it was Napolean who launched the epic brand and took the franc further than anyone in history when he took over a shoddy French economy and fried the Russians and Austrians in 1805 after putting together a stable economy, a strong bureaucracy and a well-trained army during his Napoleonic Wars.
He influenced that sandwich as a popular staple for his hungry troops by enhancing the name "Francfurter" and eliminating the well known use of Dachshund and other dog parts in the sandwich that the Germans had influenced for years. He also favored the 'short' model rather than the foot long because ii fit better in the boots.
Napoleon also named the wrapper when he served the Francfurter Sandwich to his troops at his Easter Victory Dinner in1806 when he tossed the bulky, bready, Baguette loaves and shortened his new version (the one that fit in the boot)--"The Easter Bun."
"Hot Dog" in America flourished after part-time firefighter Alexander Cartwright wrote the modern day rules for Baseball in 1845 and Mark Twain invented Coney Island but that is a different story that includes World Fair facts.
Incidentally, the answer to the far above Kahlua and Tomato Juice question is:
(B) "shaken".
XM--I assume you are the only one who reads my posts all the way to the end-- so thanks for your kind attention on this matter and kindly present this historic information to your children so they do not look bereft of their senses or stupid on their own respective blogs in the future....

Great post.
March 27th, 2020 at 11:41 AM ^
M & M, to write that much beautiful prose, and to have not one word of it be true, has to mean that you are a morning coffee drinker. great effort.
Okay knowledgeable one is hot dog simply rolled up baloney? Because if it is that would lend credence to it being a sandwich ?
Thank you...Im tired of these "hot dogs are sandwiches " people. Savages
It’s not even the right question. It should be cake or pie. I will go with pie.
March 26th, 2020 at 10:03 PM ^
you and a couple of others have mentioned pie. but of course pie must be had with ice cream.
in the interests of full disclosure, i am eating a homemade pumpkin-chocolate chip muffin, with butter all over it.
March 26th, 2020 at 10:36 PM ^
1. I will make you a key lime, lemon meringue and/or peanut butter pie that will make you forget that ice cream exists-truly, they will. Generally, the only reason to eat cake is for the icing. OTOH, I will make you a "from scratch" angel food cake that you can't stop eating 'til it's all gone.
2. Whatever you need at the time.
3. Jeans
4. Coffee-very strong with cream and sugar...no flavored crap
5. Christmas morning
6. To get to the other side
March 26th, 2020 at 10:44 PM ^
Ice cream with cake is a must
A hot dog is 100% a sandwich. It’s bread with meat and condiments. I don’t understand why the idea makes people uncomfortable. It is so odd.
I love the debate, may this one last for the rest of time.
1. Ice cream cake. Best dessert. Don’t @ me
2. Truck. All about the hauling ability.
3. Cargo pant Khakis. More pockets, more better... don’t tell my wife
4. Nitro Coffee or dry Irish Stout. Good way to stay regular
5. Christmas Eve, if snowing. Otherwise, Christmas Day
6. Social distancing, obvi
1. Brownies (because it’s a cake-cookie)
2. Truck (I drive one)
3. Sweatpants (I wfh now)
4. Iced coffee (I can drink it faster and it has more caffeine than tea)
5. Xmas day (just feels right)
6. It followed the other chickens
Stay healthy everyone!
1. Cookies definitely but maybe cheesecake
2. Truck love the space in my avalanche
3. Jeans for casual time
4. Coffee, sweet tea is great though and coffee should always be black no creamer or any of that garbage
5. morning. Have some patience people
6. to get to the other side. Classic
1. Cookies. Just easier to buy a box of cookies and have a couple at time. I can't really buy a whole cake and eat it before it goes bad.
2. Car. I virtually never need to haul anything large.
3. Jeans. I associate Khakis with work.
4. Coffee. I am allergic to tea.
5. Christmas Morning. Tradition!
6. To get to the other side.
oatmeal raisin cookies
F150 truck - on my 8th in a row
khakis, unless they're Levi jeans. pre-worn/distressed denim is pure faggotry
coffee. 1/2 a sugar, dark
morn - we do open one xmas eve,
his foot was caught in my jerkoff sock
XM - hope you're well bud. Youre about the only one I'd answer this nonsense.
We're at Burt Lake now, even further from the masses, and loving it. Hooked 7 steelhead today, and some some really solid browns.
welcome 'up north'. without giving away any secrets, where were you fishing and were you fly fishing, spin casting, spawn, etc ? that's a very nice day. sunny tomorrow, will you go again?
P----- and St-----n. Beads and yarn, didn't matter. Two hander with floats, floating line.
steelheading opens when, sunday or monday? interesting re: floating line, too. i guess i thought sinking would be the choice this time of year, but admittedly i am not much of a steelhead fisherman.
March 26th, 2020 at 11:35 PM ^
"pure faggotry?". Seriously, wigeon?
Cookies
Volkswagen GTI
Jeans
Neither
Jewish
To Social distance.
1. Cookies or cake? - chocolate cake
2. Car or truck? - won’t let me drive because of bad eyes, but now that there are real electric options, truck if I could
3. Khakis or jeans? - jeans for working from home, generally khakis in the office or if going out
4. Coffee or tea? - neither, if I need caffeine, soda which raises the obvious question: soda or pop)
5. Open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning? Christmas morning
6. Why did the chicken cross the road? It was there
and why the questions? Obviously you are screening for very limited spots at the xtramelanin estates when the shit hits the fan
questions for the zombie apocalypse - XM sweepstakes will be much more pointed around things like work ethic, experience, 40 times, vertical jump, maybe some theology.
I get most of those, but 40 times? I thought zombies were pretty slow.
yeah, but zombies or no zombies, you will be called upon to chase the occasional escaped cattle and to play in various sporting events.
March 26th, 2020 at 10:43 PM ^
Dammit. I'm solid in all the others, but my 40 time is like me in the swimsuit competition. No bueno.
Cake, cookies are just lazy cake.
Car, I like how they look and are more practical for me.
jeans, just better
coffee at home followed by tea at work. I can drink tea all day but too much coffee give me jitters
Christmas Morning. Because I’m not a nazi
The chicken was trying to get away from people pointing out Godwin’s law.
March 27th, 2020 at 12:26 AM ^
“Cookies are just lazy cake” I am stealing that phrase for sure!
1. Cookie(cake). For birthdays we always get a large cookie with frosting as the decoration.
2. Car. Multiple friends have trucks so I can always call in a favor.
3. Jeans
4. Water
5. One on christmas eve and the rest on christmas morning
6. To see if the grass was really greener on the other side
1. Cookies or cake? Yes
2. Car or truck? Car
3. Khakis or jeans? Khakis - Kirkland brand from Costco (most of my clothes come from Costco)
4. Coffee or tea? Never coffee. Only occasionally tea. 1 Diet soda per day.
5. Open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning? Christmas morning.
6. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get out of CV-19 shelter in place.
1. Cookies or cake? Cake
2. Car or truck? Truck
3. Khakis or jeans? Jeans
4. Coffee or tea? Tea
5. Open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning? Morning
6. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get laid
Cookies - m&ms or choc chip
Large SUV - kids plus hauling constuction materials
khakis - more colors to choose from
coffee - bold and black
christmas eve - I’m normally VERY hung over Christmas morning
To avoid the fork - I was told this when I was about 5, I laughed so hard I wet myself.
1. Kinda torn. Cookies 95% of the time. But nothing says wedding or birthday like well made cake. Moist, minimal crumble, smooth creamy icing ..... there goes whatever diet I was pretending to be on.
2. Truck. Period.
3. Khakis at work. Jeans everywhere else. Unless a suit is in order (rare for me).
4. Both. Coffee in the morning. Iced green tea for lunch. Water/beer/scotch/whisky the rest of the time.
5. Only psychopaths open Christmas present before Christmas.
6. To get to the brewery to check out their new saison probably
1. Cookies
2. Car
3. Khakis
4. Neither
5. Morning
6. the chicken, being both a nervous and free-range bird, couldn’t handle quarantine and fled.
1. Cookies. You can eat more and not feel as guilty
2. Truck. Serves more purpose.
3. Khakis. More comfortable and versatile.
4. Iced Tea. Cant stand coffee.
5. Christmas morning. Way more joy and wonder. Love seeing my boys on Christmas morning light up with awe.
6. Chicken was going to Dum Dums house. Knock Knock....
1. Cake all day
2. When I was younger I hated trucks. Now nearly 40 I really want to buy a truck.
3. Jorts
4. Coffee
5. Christmas Morning
6. He was bored
1. Cookies. More practical and I do not need a fork or plate.
2. Car. But might try a truck in a few years.
3. Khakis. Looks more professional at work.
4. Tea. Less caffeine withdrawal headaches.
5. Christmas morning. The night before is cheating.
6. The chicken is a nervous bird. Sometimes it does unpredictable things.
1. Cookies. My wife's cookies are great and varied. The only cakes she makes are requested by the kids, who do not make requests that are conducive to cake being as awesome as it can be.
2. E-bike. Haven't had a car in years at this point. #Europe
3. Jeans. Am not a communist or pencil pusher.
4. Coffee. Nobody lets me nap as much as I'd have to otherwise.
5. Christmas morning. My wife lets the kids open one on Christmas eve. I am certain this is an evil trick to force us to get her at least two presents.
6. It was frightened of the non-chicken parents of which it was the genetically mutated but ultimately evolutionarily successful offspring. (Of course this means that the egg it left behind preceded the chicken.)
i hear you on the cake thing with kids. mine will sometimes ask for things like lemon cakes on their birthdays, specifically to defeat the otherwise, admittedly oppressive, 'daddy tax' on the cake.
1. Going with a 3rd party write in vote of pie.
2. If SUV is a truck, then truck. Otherwise another write in vote.
3. Khakis...color blind golf pro. Gotta keep to a universal shade.
4. Tea....cold....with some lemonade....and perhaps even a splash of fine vodka.
5. Christmas AM. Best day EVER!! Both as a kid, and moreso as a parent.
6. Chicken crossed the road cuz he was originally in DC and got sick of the BS overflowing from every building there.
Be safe all. Better days ahead.
